Setup is 2x SATA HDs in RAID1 via Win7 dynamic disk. 1 drive is failing, so we're swapping to 1x SSD. I usually clone with Acronis boot CD (especially when going to a smaller drive like this) but have experience with Clonezilla & dd. What's the recommended tool in this case? Should I break...

Looking for some tips to deal with HD failure in the local datastore. Details: HD1 holds only ESXi 6 boot plus a mirrored boot VMDK for my NAS. Failed HD2 (old 5.5u2 boot disk) holds 2 VMs. All other VMs run from NAS storage, so they're good. VM1 is my ZFS NAS with HBA passthru, etc. VM2...

One of my HDs has a reallocation event count of 5 (raw). All other error counts are 0, including reallocated & pending sectors. I just ran a full, 1-pass wipe, and no counts changed. What does this tell me?

Just saw the news at TechReport. If accurate, oh shit!

I would appreciate help understanding this one. Tried an older WD5000AAKS for backups Direct connection to FreeNAS 9211-8i IT HBA New ZFS volume with FreeNAS GELI encryption cp in shell Even with large files (e.g. PC images), write speed was 3-4MBps Moved HD to Win7 PC via USB3 dock &...

Need to extend a network to a new building. Range is short - about 100 feet. Good LOS, with no major obstructions. A number of neighbors have 2.4GHz networks, so I'd prefer to use 5 here. Mounting outside the buildings might be possible, but internal mounts are preferred. I tested...

Newegg has a $65 code (EMCNJJG38) for the TDK BA100 IEM, for a final price of $60. While the BA100 is new, Head-fi has some positive reports, and InnerFidelity included TDK's flanking models in this IEM buyer's guide.

I've seen this on 2 PCs lately, both Acer Veriton X480G, running Win7 Pro x64. The PCs boot normally & run for a few minutes before BSODing in the Intel storage driver. Both PCs run fine in safe mode. Also, both PCs worked for at least a few weeks before the problems started. First...

It's the current Shell Shocker. Link

Have a 2yo WHS custom build. E4500 on a GA-P35-DS3R. System drive is a WD5000AAKS, and there are 5 data drives (mix of 750GBs & 1TBs). Also have a few spare HDs retired from other PCs, so it's time to expand the server. Goals: At least 4 more SATA ports Hardware RAID1 for the system...

I'm trying to figure out WTF happened here. It's a new Lian Li B70 that just arrived via UPS. Wait! Read on before saying, "Well, there's your problem." The box is fine, and the foam only slightly broken. I haven't found any problems on the case's exterior, not even a scratch. But...

I am selling an OEM Intel Xeon E3110 CPU, as seen in this build. Code Q745A784. The chip's in perfect condition and has been installed & removed only once. Selling only because I got a good deal on another CPU. This chip OCed 100% stable at 3.6GHz with stock 1.225V on my IP35-E, and it...

Supposed to be available both at ExcaliberPC & Lagoom. I ordered from Lagoom last night, and they emailed a tracking number today. Keeping my fingers crossed, but it's nice to find an E8400 substitute.
